Apart from general medical problems we can help with your general health and the care of on going problems such as asthma and diabetes. For some of these conditions we have separate clinics, for others we simply see you in the normal surgery. You will be called for your annual screening on the month of your birth.

Antenatal Care

Pregnant women are looked after by the midwives attached to the practice. They hold an antenatal clinic on a Wednesday morning. The midwives will see women every four to six weeks. We share the care of a pregnant lady with obstetricians, usually in Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin. If there are no complications then there will be two visits to Dr Grays to see the specialist and to have a scan of the baby performed. Planning a pregnancy requires some thought and there are several things you can do to improve your health and that of your baby. The doctors or midwives would be happy to discuss this with you.

Child Health

Our health visitor, is available four days per week. She provides support and advice on family health. There is a drop in baby clinic held on the first Wednesday of the month. You are welcome to attend. To arrange an appointment with the health visitor, please telephone 01340 882107.

Coronary Heart Disease

If you have had a heart attack or get angina then you are at an increased risk of further heart problems so we have a special clinic to see you. You will be seen yearly, first by our practice nurse and then by one of the GPs. We will help you to live as healthily as possible and may change your medications to help prevent further problems.

Family Planning

All three doctors offer a full range of contraceptive advice in the normal surgeries. To avoid unwanted pregnancies we offer advice to all age groups. If you require the morning after pill remember you have only 72 hours to see a doctor. The practice has a coil fitting service.

Minor Surgery

Certain small operations, such as removing skin lumps, freezing warts, or operating on toenails can be performed in the health centre. Sometimes they will be done in a normal surgery or the doctor may agree another later date with you when we have more time.

Well Woman Clinic

The practice nurse, Fiona Brant runs a clinic for women between the ages of 20 and 60 is invited. She advises on general health issues, such as exercise, smoking and drinking. She will check blood pressure, take a cervical smear, if necessary, and teach breast self-examination. Routine cervical smears are performed 3 yearly and you will be sent a letter when your smear is next due asking you to make an appointment.01340) 871210

Well Man Clinic

The men are not ignored! Please make an appointment with one of the practice nurse. They will discuss health issues such as exercise, smoking and drinking are discussed as well as checks of blood pressure and weight. Other tests, such as a cholesterol blood test, will be done if needed.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Fleming Hospital

The Fleming Hospital is attached to the health centre. The hospital has 11 beds and we can look after lots of different problems both in patients the General Practitioners admit themselves or those transferred from other hospitals.

We have a special suite used to provide palliative care for patients and their relatives. The hospital number is 01340 871464 and visiting is from 14:00 – 16:00 and 18:00 – 20:00.

There is a casualty service run by the nurses in the hospital which is open 24 hours a day. The nurse can discuss your care with a doctor. Sometimes the nurse will advise you to go straight to the Accident and Emergency department at Dr Gray’s in Elgin.

Health Services in Moray
